Top Reads I’m more disappointed in myself than Louis C.K. In 2012 rumors began with a Gawker blind item that identified a “beloved comedian” who, allegedly, jerked off in front of women, citing an incident at a comedy festival involving two female comedians. It was widely believed to be Louis C.K. (Gawker would eventually explicitly name C.K.) Those By Sarah • Sep 18, 2017 09:21 am
Emmy Awards 2017 Zoe Kravitz: Emmy Colour Couture I love colour, especially in clothes. I am a sucker for a rainbow stripe, I rarely go for a black dress, and I inevitably wind up whining/wiggling my way out of writing about certain people during our awards show wraps because I haaaate nude/neutral dresses. This Zoe Kravitz By Duana • Sep 18, 2017 08:45 am
Emmy Awards 2017 Priyanka Chopra: Emmys Most Sweaty The weather was reportedly cool-ish and comfortable in LA for the Emmys last night but I still don’t believe that Priyanka Chopra wasn’t sweating profusely in this feathery Balmain, long-sleeved sweater dress. I like her and really wanted to like this dress but every time I By Kathleen • Sep 18, 2017 08:32 am
Emmy Awards 2017 Tracee Ellis-Ross: Emmy Couture Like, I KNOW that Julia Louis-Dreyfus is consistent excellent. She’s also acknowledged for being consistently excellent. There are a lot of people who are consistently excellent but who go unappreciated. Tracee Ellis-Ross was a nominee so it’s not like she’s not being appreciated which is By Lainey • Sep 18, 2017 08:08 am
Emmy Awards 2017 Kate & Alec: Emmy ‘Supporting’ Comedy There was more, this year, about SNL than in… almost decades. That sounds insane, but it’s true—and you heard Lorne Michaels say so in one of the most dour acceptance speeches in my memory. Maybe he was tired from having won four more trophies last week, but you By Duana • Sep 18, 2017 08:01 am
Emmy Awards 2017 Julia Louis-Dreyfus: Emmy Expected Win You know what it was that did it? It was that one particular line during VEEP’s win for Best Comedy Series. Showrunner David Mandel, in his speech, said they had a “no asshole policy” on the show “…and everyone abides by it except Julia”. And everybody laughed. That was By Duana • Sep 18, 2017 07:32 am
Emmy Awards 2017 Millie Bobby Brown: the Emmy veteran Millie Bobby Brown is 13 years old. Of course she’s not a veteran in a room full of veterans. But that’s kinda what it feels like in 2017. She’s showed up to almost every award show in 2017. Look at her on the red carpet. This is By Lainey • Sep 18, 2017 07:15 am
Emmy Awards 2017 Judith Light: Best Emmy Angelina Leg Angelina Jolie’s right leg became a meme five years ago. Judith Light’s right leg is less meme-worthy but she’s posing the sh-t out of this high slit dress. This is some high-level posing. When Lainey first asked me to write about Judith Light, I By Kathleen • Sep 18, 2017 07:01 am
Emmy Awards 2017 Sterling K Brown’s Almost Best Speech: Emmys Outrage HOW. DARE. THEY. There are a few things we can count on during award shows: someone is going to say something stupid (looking at you Shailene Woodley), there are going to be well-intentioned, poorly-executed Trump jokes (Melissa McCarthy was RIGHT there), and the wrong person will get the By Kathleen • Sep 18, 2017 06:51 am
Emmy Awards 2017 Samira Wiley: Emmys Unsung Star The only tiny downside of the amazing spate of shows that got to fight for acclaim last night is that when everything is this good, not only are the shows themselves not always acknowledged (I was almost able to spare you guys my regular ranting about The Americans), but when By Duana • Sep 18, 2017 06:29 am
Emmy Awards 2017 Evan Rachel Wood & Claire Foy: Emmys pants Normally, when a nominee in a major category wears pants at a major award show, I get excited. Sometimes they end up becoming the night’s Best Dressed. Emma Stone at the Golden Globes is one of the most memorable examples. Was it the same then with Claire Foy and By Lainey • Sep 18, 2017 05:52 am
Emmy Awards 2017 Laura Dern: Best Emmy’s Truthbomb I need a word for the kind of fan you are when you really like something, but you cede the official title of ‘fan’ to someone who lives and breathes it. I watched the Emmys last night and realized I LOVE Laura Dern. Always have, not just because she did By Duana • Sep 18, 2017 05:38 am
Emmy Awards 2017 Emmys Best Surprises: Chance & George Washington By now, you know how I feel about Chance the Rapper. It probably won’t be a surprise to you that I screamed and threw my phone across my living room when he popped up during the Emmys opening musical number. My consistent reaction to Chance even when I know By Kathleen • Sep 18, 2017 05:14 am
Emmy Awards 2017 Allison Janney: Best Emmy Protector You know that question we always hear on nights like this when someone shows up and you can’t understand how they do it? “Does so-and-so ever age?!” We have to add Allison Janney to that list, right? Allison Janney not only doesn’t age, she keeps getting By Lainey • Sep 18, 2017 04:19 am
Emmy Awards 2017 Lily, Dolly, and Jane: Best Emmys presenters I mean, what’s there to complain about here? Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton, and Jane Fonda gave us everything: shock and awe, flopsy and droopy, dildos, a Trump takedown…and BANGS! Let’s get to the bangs in a minute because it turns out there were some people wondering whether By Lainey • Sep 18, 2017 03:58 am
Emmy Awards 2017 Gina Rodriguez: Best Effortless Emmy Gina Rodriguez makes it look easy. Even when presenting with Shemar Moore, who seems like one of those dudes who gets more attention than he’s entitled to no matter what project is happening, she’s charming, cool enough, in a spectacular dress that makes lesser publications think truly terrible By Duana • Sep 18, 2017 03:37 am
